Back To School DIY Teacher Gift – perfect to pair with a planner, notebook or school supplies to give to the teacher in YOUR life!

Back to School DIY Teacher Gift Tags

Let’s kick off the school year with an adorable Back To School DIY Teacher Gift. These little gift tags would be perfect to pair with a Teacher Planner, a journal, stickie notes or even a cute To-Do list. Giving a little gift on the first day of school is a great way to introduce yourself and make a memorable impression. We are a DIY kind of family, so we love coming up with something useful teachers would love, but low cost and as always add a touch of cuteness with a printable tag or card to welcome teachers back to school.

If you want to make a DIY Daily To Do List Notepad check out our tutorial here. Super easy to create in minutes and would be a great craft project for the new school year.

Print off in 2 sayings and color combos

Start a new tradition!

After showing your new teacher a little love, why not start a new school tradition this year?

No matter how you kick off the start of the new school year, creating traditions for your family are my favorite. One of our family traditions is adding lunch box notes during the school year. Adding a little love to there lunchbox might just be what they need to have a smooth start to what can be a stressful transition. Check out below to see our tutorial on how to make your own lunchbox notes printing on sticky notes. Quick & easy!!

"Summer Social" Guest Project — Back to School Teacher Gift {printable}

Jen — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 07:24:00 +0000

What an honor to be a part of Jen’s Summer Social! Jen and I have been blogging friends for a long time (in bloggy years) and have just recently been able to get to know each other better as we work on the SNAP! Conference team. I can tell you that Jen is just who you think she is from reading her blog, and yes, she really is that nice! I’m pretty sure you could look a long while and never meet a nicer person.

My name is Kendra and I keep a blog called My Insanity. It is where I share all of my crazy/creative ideas.

And the insanity abounds, but I do like simple projects, too, like this one for a sweet start to the new school year.

Last week my kids went back to school! If yours aren’t already there, undoubtedly they will be shortly. Have you met the teachers yet?

Here is a simple and sweet idea for something to take to the teacher on the 1st day of school or a Back to School night, that will leave an impression, without going overboard.

When my kids went to meet their teachers they handed them each an apple with special teacher sticker.

The teachers looked a bit surprised, but genuinely pleased by the gift. Turns out, most teachers aren’t actually given apples as gifts in real life. But I want to change that! What better to give them? Practical, portable {edible}, and now personal! (This idea was inspired by these clever valentines we gave last year, thanks to these great printable stickers from Twig & Thistle.)

I designed the apple sticker graphic and then printed out a sheet of stickers on label paper (I used Avery 5408 round 3/4″ labels). I tried to create a printable sheet of stickers for you to download here today, but couldn’t figure out how to keep the formatting just right (any advice for me about making printables on label templates?).

So if you’d like stickers for apples for your teachers, click on the apple graphic above, and right click and save it to your computer. You can download templates from Avery for the kind of labels you are using. Then fill in the circles with this graphic. This specific template is meant for use in Microsoft Word. If you don’t want to mess with templates, just get full-sized sheets of sticker paper and place the graphics all over. You might be able to punch them with a sharp circle punch, or just cut them out with scissors.

Hope this helps you start off the new school year on the right foot with your child’s teacher!

Thanks Jen, for having me!
